This English guide presents the key points of the original Korean article. Individual diagnosis and treatment choices require an examination.
Notice changes at mealtimes
Avoiding meat or other foods, choosing only soft meals, taking longer to eat or eating less may signal that a denture needs attention. Ask the person wearing it what hurts and when it moves.
Bring useful details
Record which foods are difficult, the location of sore areas, whether the denture lifts when chewing, and any weight or appetite changes. Bring the current dentures to the consultation.
What happens at the visit?
The dentist checks the denture, gums, bite and remaining teeth. An adjustment, reline, new denture or another treatment may be discussed according to the findings and the person's goals.
